In the palace, all matters were prepared, the funeral was completed, and the ministers began to gather in the court to discuss important matters.
His Majesty died suddenly, and there is no heir to the throne, and the remaining three people are currently competing for it, namely the second prince Zhu Youjian, the third prince Zhu Youtu, and the fourth prince Zhu Youzhen.
The rest of the princes died one by one, the eldest prince failed, left Luodu, and was not eligible to run, and the future Emperor of Daliang will be produced from these three princes.
The second prince is the weakest, and the people who support him are the least, so he is naturally ignored, and the third prince Zhu Youtu is strong, but he is still not as good as the fourth prince Zhu Youzhen.
Most of the ministers support Zhu Youzhen, who made his mother the current queen, rightfully named, the eldest son, and a few others, just green leaves to foil.
At the beginning, the court was quiet, the ministers were peaceful, closed their lips, and didn't say a word about anything, the quietest was Bao Longyu in the crowd, closing his eyes tightly, wandering out of the world, it seemed that who was the emperor had nothing to do with him.
The ministers of the six ministries, there was no fight, and they did not speak, they were all the ministers behind them.
A minister came out, an unknown minister of the ministry, rolled up his sleeves, arched his hands and said loudly: "Ministers, be quiet, quiet. ”
The court fell silent, and everyone looked at the minister.
"Since ancient times, following the inheritance system of the eldest son, the four princes Zhu Youzhen, Wencheng Wude, treat people generously, love the people like sons, and have made supreme contributions to the Great Liang.
"I think that the emperor of Daliang should choose a prince who can lead Daliang to a strong one, and the four princes are the most suitable, and I support the four princes."
One person stood in the position, and the ministers behind echoed him.
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
"We respectfully ask the queen mother to agree."
The fourth prince was very happy, his smile bloomed, see no, these are my people, you are just foiling me, the throne must be mine.
The provocative eyes made Zhu Youtu very angry, his fists clenched, his teeth clenched, many people supported the four princes, but there were also people who supported the three princes.
"I don't agree, the third prince is His Majesty's favorite son, and when His Majesty left, he still remembered the three princes, so I always think that the three princes are the most suitable."
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
"Hmph, how can the third prince be virtuous, if you can't do anything, dare to ask Lord Zhang, where did you get the courage?"
"You're looking for death."
"Shameless."
"Old man, do you want to fight?"
"Hit whoever is afraid."
"Come on."
"You do it first, don't run if you have a kind."
"Whoever egged on him is a puppy."
Then the two of them said a word, but they didn't fight, which made the minister watching the play very unhappy, you have been arguing for so long, why haven't you started fighting, the two also know that they can't do it, once they do, the dead people will definitely be them.
"Alright." Zhou Keyan glanced coldly below, all the ministers shut up, she said coldly: "The ministers are the pillars of the country, Your Majesty is gone, the palace is very sad, but the country can't be without a monarch for a day, Daliang needs a Ming Jun to lead Daliang to glory." ”
"This palace has been thinking for a long time and synthesizing the suggestions of the ministers, so this palace has decided to ...... The heirs of the girder are...... The fourth prince Zhu Youzhen. ”
The jade finger pointed out, Zhu Youzhen took a step forward, arrogant, contemptuous of the other princes, walked in front of Zhu Youtu, and said disdainfully: "Zhu Youtu, you fight with me, you are still a little tender." ”
"No, we don't agree."
Before he walked up, Zhu Youtu took a step out angrily, glared at Zhou Keyan above, disagreed, and did not compromise.
Zhou Keyan's brows were cold, she is the current queen, the mother of the world, there are people who rebel against her, how can she not be angry, and this person is Zhu Youtu, who has always been against her, and she suddenly became even more angry.
"Hmph, why don't you agree? His Royal Highness the Third Prince. ”
The estranged words can be seen from the sound of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, how angry the queen mother Zhou Keyan is in her heart, and the other ministers are silent and watch this scene happen.
Feng Zhi, the secretary of the ministry, stroked his hands, the hands hidden under the sleeves were full of sweat, the third prince was unwise, he disobeyed the queen mother, and he had many sins.
Everyone can see that the people around her are her people, and half of the ministers are inclined to her, aren't you looking for death when you resist her at this time?
"Why is he?" Zhu Youtu was very angry, Zhu Youzhen why, why.
"Why?" Zhou Keyan pointed his finger, and the guards outside rushed in one after another, drawing their swords at each other.
The atmosphere was quiet all of a sudden, the needles could be heard, the sword light and sword shadows, and the cold killing machine filled everyone's hearts, and no one could have imagined that suddenly, the queen would choose to do it.
The crowd surrounded by the crowd was noisy for a while, and they didn't dare to continue to speak, and stood there quietly.
Zhu Youtu looked at the people around him gloomily, all of them were her people, and she only needed her to give an order, and she was going to die here, Zhu Youtu was very worried in his heart, and his back was wet with sweat.
"I don't know if my Royal Highness the Second Prince, is it still opposed?"
In the face of strength, everything is nonsense.
"I ......."
Zhu Youtu couldn't open his mouth, they were all their people, and as for himself, alone, his expression was gloomy.
Even the minister behind him dimmed, and the only happy person was Zhu Youzhen, who walked up, sitting next to Zhou Keyan, on the dragon chair, and the mother and son were sitting.
Condescending, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help laughing: "Haha, haha." ”
The laughter spread throughout the palace, inside and outside was full of his laughter, endlessly, the ministers had bitter faces, no one could have imagined that they would do this, after Zhu Youzhen finished laughing, he looked at the people below.
"Ben...... I am the emperor of the Great Liang. ”
The ministers knelt down one after another, and had to bend their knees, Zhu Youtu stared at Zhu Youzhen and Zhou Keyan above, his eyes were cold.
There are also some people who are also standing, staring at it coldly, and most of the people who knelt down are Zhu Youzhen's people, holding long live my emperor.
Zhu Youzhen, who was happy, saw Zhu Youtu standing there, glaring at himself, he was even happier, it was this look, unwilling, angry, angry, and with infinite resentment.
It was a look of jealousy, he was the emperor of Daliang, and he was nothing more than a loser.
"Someone, catch him for me."
The guards stepped forward and pressed Zhu Youtu to kneel, Zhu Youtu couldn't resist, staring at Zhu Youzhen angrily: "How can you do this?" Ignoring the injustice, the spirit of the father and the emperor in heaven will not forgive you. ”
"Haha, father, Zhu Youtu, you are too stupid, your father is on my side, you are just a loser." Zhu Youzhen looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing wantonly.
He stood up, took out a testament, and handed it to Meng Zhibai, the great eunuch beside him, who coughed: "Pass on the emperor's edict." ”
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Everyone knelt down, and it was not Zhu Youzhen who knelt down, but the edict.
The great eunuch Meng Zhibai's face was expressionless, and he read out the words on the edict word by word, his voice was not fast, and his voice was sharp: "I am ordered by the emperor, I am in the world, I am in trouble, and I am a soldier, and I am born in the city. Worry about danger, work hard every day, and concentrate on the people. However, it starts from a humble beginning, without the wisdom of the ancients, good and evil, not too much. Today and tomorrow, the muscles are weak, the day and night are in danger, and the fear is not over. Now that we have the principle of all things in nature, what is its ridicule and sorrow? My emperor's son is a friend, benevolent and filial piety, the world returns to the heart, and it is appropriate to ascend to the throne and be diligent in civil affairs. Chinese and foreign civil and military ministers, with the same heart to assist, to benefit our people. All funeral rituals are the same as the Chinese language. Tell the world. ”
An edict proclaimed Zhu Youzhen's orthodoxy, and this edict also made the ministers return to their hearts.
The edict, the edict of the emperor, there is nothing more deterrent than this.
After listening to this, Zhu Youtu almost went crazy, his eyes were red, and he stared at Zhu Youzhen above: "I don't believe it, I don't believe that my father will be so eccentric, I don't believe it." ”
The fourth child is his son, so is himself, and so is the second brother, why should he be so partial.
Is it because he is the eldest son, he doesn't believe it?
"Forgery, that's right, it must be forged, my father did not leave any edict, they forged the edict, and the crime is unforgivable." Zhu Youtu grabbed the ground with both hands, pushed away the guards around him, and stood up stiffly.
"You are so bold that you dare to forge the edict, Zhu Youzhen, and you, actually do such a thing." Zhu Youtu couldn't bear it anymore, if he continued, he would definitely be killed by them.
Since they dare to do it, why don't they dare to, strength is everything.
"Ji Chunqiu."
A shout spread throughout the palace, and everyone looked at the crazy third prince, the third prince who had always been gentle and polite, had gone crazy.
"Ugh." Some of the ministers bowed their heads and sighed, deep pity in their eyes.
"Ugh." The other ministers looked at each other and shook their heads.
Only Zhu Youjian, bowing his head and smiling, is it finally about to start? Let's fight, let's fight, the happier you fight, the better, it's best to lose both.
"Boom!"
Outside, there was a sudden sound of rustling, the clash of swords, and a terrible scream, echoing through the palace, and as the sound approached, the group rushed in and killed all the guards.
In the blood, Meng Hao was alone, out of reach, and came to Zhu Youtu's side, the weapon in his hand was already stained with blood, and red blood was dripping from his body and armor.
Ji Chunqiu, who was following behind, stood on the other side of Zhu Youtu, and he bowed down and said, "Your Highness, it's all under control." ”
"Good, good, good." Zhu Youtu laughed and controlled it, all the people are my people, this time, it depends on how arrogant you are.
Looking up at Zhu Youzhen and Zhou Keyan, the queen's mother, who were pale, Zhu Youtu showed a hideous smile and flicked his sleeves: "I don't know if you want to kill me this time?" ”
The ministers watched this happen, dumbfounded, one of them mutinied, and the other followed, what happened to these people?
